]]> I am retired and have been living in Wenatchee for 30 years now. Born on Guam in 1948, lived there until I was 6 then moved to the Tri-Cities in Washington where my dad worked as a nuclear pile engineer.

I graduated from Kennewick High in 1967 and went on to Central Washington state college, graduating in 1972 with Bachelor in Art History and Anthropology. I studied art at CWC but stopped after getting married and raising a family. After retiring we traveled Europe several times.

After many years not painting I picked up the brush a year ago and have not put it down.

]]> For me, art is a rebellious act.
I've never wondered if I'm an artist… I was born knowing.
I work across canvas, skin, clay, and screen: painting, drawing, tattooing, ceramics, photography, and digital art. Not because I can't choose a lane, but because I don't speak in specific mediums. I speak in feeling. Everything I encounter to create with is just the tool.

My work lives at the threshold, the space between what shows and what doesn't. My subjects return again and again to emergence: women rising from roots, faces surfacing from smoke, figures caught mid transformation between what they were and what they're becoming. There's a duality running through all of my work that is not meant to resolve into easy harmony. Control vs freedom… Roots vs wings… Aflame but never burnt.

To me, art is how we hand each other our own private way of seeing the world. It's how I take whatever's been hardest to carry and alchemize it into something that doesn't just sit inside me anymore, something I can hold up and say this is what it's been like to be me, does anyone else know this feeling too? My hope is that someone someday stands in front of a piece of mine and feels less alone in whatever they're carrying or transforming into.
I'm based in Cashmere, where I run Inklinations, a private tattoo studio. I'm also co-founder of Make Your Mark, a Washington nonprofit dedicated to radical art accessibility.

]]> Ari Shore

For over a decade, I taught art in classrooms filled with creative chaos and possibility, guiding students through color, form, texture, and the quiet magic of making. Eventually, my path is shifting toward clinical counseling, where I am exploring healing not just through art, but through deep listening, reflection, and care. Now, in this season of life, I find myself as a mom, friend, partner, student, teacher and a forever maker, navigating the steady hum of daily life, while still carving out sacred time to return to my own creative center.

At my table (often literally crowded), you’ll find metalwork alongside oil paintings, handwoven textiles draped next to stained glass, natural materials waiting to be transformed, and (so many) half-finished projects sharing space with everyday living. I’ve never fit neatly into a single box, not as a maker, not as a teacher, not as a mother, and I’m learning that maybe that’s the point. This is a space of integration: a home for all my practices, from fine art to functional craft.

Crowded Table Craft is a studio operating out of Artworx in Wenatchee, providing kid, teen, and adult classes, workshops, and camps

]]> Psych folk rock band, Forest Ray, began as a recording project in 2015, combining guitar driven psych rock with elements of garage rock, folk rock and organ-laden pop. They've been described as "Brit-pop gone country" or as "..The Band covering Beatles songs no one knew existed.” (Tony Kay, Washington's Artist Home blog). The group's sound has evolved from 60's psychedelic garage rock into spaced-out, down to earth rock n' roll, that feels “like a perfect companion for a long dusty road trip” (KEXP, Chris Sanley)

Forest Ray also performs solo acoustic with principal songwriter, Peter Sumic, performing Forest Ray originals on acoustic guitar and harmonica.

]]> To describe Star Anna’s sound would depend on the day, the show, the album, or the band. Alt country, folk, blues, soul, and Americana are all fitting, but what remains the central focus of every performance is her voice. Whether she’s sitting on a stage with only her acoustic guitar or backed by some of Seattle’s finest musicians, it’s her voice that defines her music. It is belted with a raw, grittiness that bellows from a deep, dark reserve. It is softly laid down atop gentle strings, aching and tender. It is spit out with a fierce recklessness that echoes the glory days of punk. She’s been compared to Joan Jett, John Prine, Fiona Apple and Joe Cocker but she is unmistakably her own entity. Spare, fragile and gutsy, Star Anna is the real thing.
